F***inf skiers.

Lesson one: Don't box in snowboarders on either side......like every other skier on this planet does.

if you know a friend that skis, let him teach you a little....basic stops, turning on beginginer slopes. then take lessons, that wait your not wasting money on the most basic lesson group. if your friend can get you to parrel sking o the step before parreel sking you can spend your money on advance lessons.

Take a lesson from Natasha Richardson, wear a helmet.

I remember when I was younger and skiing (about 15 years ago) barely anyone wore helmets. But I recently went skiing and boarding and noticed that about half are wearing helmets. It's a good idea to wear one. I don't wear one. Completely up to you. Just dont go fast or run into any trees or poles. And make that pie!

If you cross the back part of your skis you are in for a world of pain.
